Firstly, I totally agree with "YHVH can easily remove the rich, powerful, and proud regardless of what elite status".
Should we however automatically assume riches and the external display of it are synonymous with pride?
When a person living in Africa has a knife with an ivory handle, should we then automatically assume they are rich? Maybe nowadays, but in the days of the building in the article, I would rather have thought that the person was either a good hunter and killed an elephant for the tusk or inherited the knife.
Should we assume that people we think are rich nowadays are so or might they be in so much debt that they have less free cash than the average middle-class person?
Where do we draw the line in our assessment of what is riches? A person living on the streets may think that my 14 year old Mondeo is their dream car; for me on the other hand it needs urgent replacement. Is that decadence on my part? Is a believer only allowed to own an old car so that it doesn't seem like they have money? Hmmm, from my perspective that would mean no Tesla's or Ford F150s; not even to mention any top end cars...
Abraham was blessed even when he lied about Sarah being his sister. He was wealthy even in today's standards and if he didn't move so much might have built such a building for himself. Having lived in a caravan for nearly 3 years with my family to save on costs, I know that a person can have some extras in a tent which the average person wouldn't think of to have in a tent. I am therefore thinking that Abraham didn't have to live in a tattered old tent and may have had some luxuries which was considered more than the average for most people.
